Water
Raindrops shower; deep wells spring forth. Gentle waves, trickling streams, and thunderous rapids; steamy vapors, stoic glaciers and drops of dew. Intricate river systems connect us, while vast oceans separate us. We water down our speech, drown out an opponent, and wash away sin. Within and without, water, essential water, is all around us. We invite you to share your interpretation of water in quiltart form.
